518 78th Avenue Quiet block, brick home, brand new roof, and a private driveway in Bay Ridge. The hard-to-find combination starts here. 518 78th Street sits on one of the most desirable stretches of Bay Ridge, 78th between 5th and 6th Avenue. It's a tree-lined, residential block a short distance to the Shore Road promenade, the Verrazzano views, the R train at 77th, and the shops and restaurants along 3rd and 5th Avenue. You're inside the Bay Ridge Special District, in School District 20, with quick access to the BQE, the bridge to Staten Island, and Manhattan in about thirty minutes by train. The home is a semi-attached single family built in 1925 and fully renovated in 2021. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, just over fifteen hundred square feet of finished living space above grade, plus a full finished basement with its own separate entrance. Brick and stucco exterior, hardwood floors, gas steam heat, and five split A/C units throughout. The owner has put real money into this place, including a brand-new roof installed just months ago, so the major systems are squared away for the next owner. Outside is where this one separate itself. A private driveway and a detached garage with an automatic door, two of the rarest features in the neighborhood. The fully fenced cement yard is low maintenance and ready for entertaining. Taxes run approximately 9, 023 dollars and the property sits in Flood Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard. You're minutes from Owl's Head Park, the Bay Ridge waterfront, 86th Street shopping, and the Belt Parkway. This is the kind of block people stay on for thirty years, and a house that's been kept the way Bay Ridge homes are supposed to be kept.
